Say Cheese!

Does your appearance hold you back? .......Too fat, too skinny, too wrinkled???

Has it stopped you from getting up to dance??? Saying hello to an old friend??? Learning something new and exciting???

Could it be the reason that you don't want to be photographed? Deb Schwedhelm thinks perhaps it is. Don't rob your family of memories. Get your tissues and check out her blog on the subject......And the next time you get in front of the camera say CHEESE :-)

All The Wrinkled Ladies

Check out this ditty by Anita Renfroe posted to the Women of Faith Blog. It's a humorous song about making peace with your body!

All The Wrinkled Ladies

Thanks Sandy for bringing this song to my attention :-)

Check out his blog for some interesting beach shots....When I look at these images, I feel nostalgic even though they are shot in a quite modern magazine style. Could it be the subjects ring true to life and take me back to the safety of my family? I like the sense of calm I feel. I'll take more please :-)

"This Is Who I Am"

"Rosanne Olson's collection of photographs and short essays, "This Is Who I Am: Our Beauty in All Shapes and Sizes," is an exploration of how real women relate to their real bodies — in all their freckled, scarred, pudgy and wrinkled glory. It's sometimes funny, sometimes sensual and always heartbreakingly sincere." ....Haley Edwards

Read her entire book review here: "This Is Who I Am"

Looks to be another inspiring read :-)

Magazine Photos

The next time you compare yourself to a beautiful magazine model, remember they had a little help. See for yourself.

PS: The talented Photoshop specialist must have more patience than God :-)

Furthermore, the French have written a bill to require disclaimers on retouched photos to prevent misrepresentation!!! Could reality be back in Vogue???
